Unreal

sometimes
I can’t believe the world
around us is real

that impossibly blue
sky is a perfectly made
gaseous space – so spacious
                           so coloured
                           so atmospheric

so what?

so not
possible without unnatural
philosophy

                        fluffy
                                        free
                                                            -form
all these
                                        floating
                      clouds

must be held up by something, some
invisible or metaphorical cord

Unreal

call it magic
or theologic
or physics

or a mix
of the above

no matter
what, it’s wonderful

Be-                                                                  sky
     hold                                                       y
          geese                                             cloud
                    flying                              blue
                              in                    sky
                                    a         thru
                                        V

how
can that be?

you tell us
but

why
do so few question
the depth of our perception?

we are taught how
then left

wondering why
